Yesterday, 40 miles with one big steep hill in the middle (Gates Pass in the Tucson Mountains)- my DH said "Who can ride easy when they put a big hill in the middle of the route" and zoomed ahead humming "My favorite things".

Today was supposed to be an easy 15 mile day but friends pulled me along for 36, including 3 miles up Mt. Lemmon (which I had planned to skip this weekend). I didn't eat enough (about 200 cal during the 2 1/2 hour ride and almost bonked. I stopped at the store only 1.5 miles from home and devoured a banana, a pluot and a handful of cashews just to get home.
